Example 2: From my doppelgangers, regarding the stunning silence from ID Creationists on Behes New Bile.

There have been posts in the anti-ID part of the blogosphere that have taken note of a surprising (from their perspective) lack of attention given to Behe's latest book (The Edge of Evolution) among ID blogs.

......

It is simply a reflection of the fact that a greater number of minds are focused on an issue. It happened in the latter part of the 19th century among Darwinists and is a pattern that has been repeated throughout history. It also explains the decreasing reliance of ID on its founding fathers; accounting for Behe's declining influence among IDists. It is not that he is no longer respected. Only that he has now become one voice among many, albeit still a prominent one.

I was actually entertaining the notion of writing some epic bullshit for the ISCID site. That's how I get my giggles. But then I saw this. How am I supposed to write an ID parody when that is what they take seriously?

Right! I hear that Behe now embraces "common descent" (by creation), in effect making him just another theistic evolutionist. Oh, and he also stands for the new poster child of ID, malaria. From the propeller butt to a bloody disease. Other examples of new concepts elude me.

Seen over 10 years, that is some remarkable concept development and diversification!

Oh, and paralepsis has an outstanding dissection of my particular brand of humor.http://paralepsis.blogspot.com/2007/06/let-mockery-continue.html

It's really rare than someone understands exactly what I'm going for in a joke, and that English professor pinpointed all of the carefully planned snark without much effort. I'll never malign English professors ever again.

God, Dembski has it bad. He's over at UD whining that Judge Jones is getting honarary doctorates (which, I'll agree, is a slightly tacky move that looks a little too much like the democratization of the judicial system for my tastes). What's really bad, though, is that he's trying to trivialize the time Jones spent as the head of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

Hah! What a loser, Jones is, rising through the bureaucratic ranks to head up the enforcement of liquor production and licensing! I'll bet, next, we'll learn that he was a manager somewhere before that. It probably gets even better -- I'd put dollars to navy beans that Jones went to law school. What a washout.
